4.7 Wav file loop playback (melody)

The phone also has the capability to download a wav file from a TFTP / FTP / HTTP server and

play it continuously until it is stopped by a stop command or a user intervention.

Unlike the “Wav” streaming commands the file is first downloaded from the server and them played

in loop locally on the phone.

For performance reasons, up to 8 wav files can be cached on the phone to allow a faster playback

for following commands. The cache is limited to 400k and lost at reboot.

This command follows the configured phone behavior for the audio path (speaker, headset and

handset) and supports volume adjustments.

Notes:

 The wav file is locally played only if the phone is idle.

 The wav file size is limited to 200K

The user can abort the playback with:

 Goodbye key

 Soft 'Drop' key

 On hook (when handset active)

 Selecting a line

Unlike the streaming capability, the beginning and the end of a playback does not trigger any

following action uri and the phone display is not changed.

Note: Paging will not interrupt the streaming unless barge-in is set.

4.7.1 XML Commands

The phone supports 2 AastraIPPhoneExecute commands. 'Melody.Play' and 'Melody.Stop'.

 XML Command: Melody.Play

This command initiates the download then playback of a WAV file to the phone.

Syntax:

melody.Play:[tftp://|ftp://|http://[username[:password]@]<host>[:port][/<path>]/f

ile:[v]

Where v is the volume level of the audio path from 0 (lowest level) to 9 (highest level), this

volume level overrides the current configured volume level of the phone.

Examples:

 XML Command: Melody.Stop

This command will abort the wav file playback.
